TCI PrecurStrong (Carbon Strips)
Pre-Cured Carbon Fiber Laminate Strips
Description
Enhance the strength and durability of your structures with TCI PrecurStrong Carbon Strips, a pre-cured carbon fiber laminate designed to reinforce and upgrade various structural elements. Easy to apply with TCI PrecurStrong 400-SA, an adhesive epoxy, it offers a reliable solution for addressing increased live and dead loads, accommodating changes in building utilization, and enhancing overall structural capacity.
Key Advantages
- Increases live and dead loads in structures
- Enhances traffic capacity on bridges and viaducts
- Quick and easy installation
- Allows flexibility for changes in building utilization or industrial machinery layout
- Enables the removal of walls, columns, or sections of floor slabs
Key Features
- Unidirectional, high-strength, high-modulus CFRP strip
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- Lightweight, adding negligible dead load to the structure
- Non-corrosive, non-magnetic, and non-conductive
- TCI PrecurStrong 400-SA is low viscosity with long pot life characteristics
- Superior tensile and flexural strength
Applications
- Buildings
- Bridges
- Tanks and structures
- Parking garages
- Chimneys
- Piers/wharfs
- Tunnels
- Beams
Certifications
- ACI 440
- CSA S806
